Yes more expensive. The Wrover is quite new so I think in time it may come down a little in time but if you shop around you will find it is about an extra $5 to get the extra 4mb of psRAM and for me to remove the restrictions on operating RAM it was worth it.

Look for the Wemos LOLIN32 pro, e.g. here: https://wiki.wemos.cc/products:lolin32: ... []=lolin32
There are three variants from wemos. You have to look for the one with the WROVER module.

The Lolin32 lite doesn't have the extra 4mb of psRAM it only has the the 4mb of flash RAM
